In KitKat, non-stock sounds sitting in a folder on my sdcard were automatically pulled in and were available for use. On lollipop this doesn't seem to be the case - the only way I can get them to show up is to copy them to system/media/, change permissions to 644 and reboot. Root explorer won't even let me change permissions for sound files that are not in system/media.
Is this a new "feature" of lollipop? Or is there another way to get these non-stock sound files to show up as choices for selection? I'm rooted and running LiquidSmooth LP if that makes a difference.
Thanks in advance.
Lollipop is the same as kitkat. Any file in a folder on sdcard called "ringtones" will show up in ringtone picker. Same for "alarms" and "notifications" folders

Can the file be in a subfolder called ringtones/notifications? If yes then I'm thinking it's an issue with the ROM I'm running...

I think that would confuse it.
You can have
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
I don't think
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones/notifications
...would work

Sorry, I meant that to mean a subfolder called ringtones or a subfolder called notifications. I have it set up exactly as your first option - and it seems like it's pulling in 99% of them but leaving one or two out of the list for some reason. I added a ringtone yesterday to my /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones folder and it would not show up in the ringtones selection list until I copied it to system/media/ringtones, changed permissions to 644 and rebooted (maybe I didn't have to change perms and reboot but I seemed to remember that process from earlier). Very strange.
Try moving the file to the stock created folder then reboot.
Should work. Some of mine don't show correctly. Check the tags of the file too. A couple of mine show up as "the title" because the tags say that. No idea why.

Anyone have the stock froyo fm radio apk they can upload? I have fresh's rom and its removed. It seems fresh provided all the apks to re-install if needed, but that one wont install for some reason.
Thanks
here you go.
Keep in mind you will likely have to install via adb..

That might explain why this doesnt seem to install correctly either. Usually I would click on the apk via astro and click on file manager and install it manually. Via adb do I simply push it to the system/app folder or is there a specific install procedure?
Thanks
(p.s. thanks martijua foir the file)
You could just copy it into the \system\app folder using RootExplorer and set the proper permissions, reboot into recovery, wipe dalvik, reboot.

Ok, used root explorer, put in the system/app folder. Rebooting to recovery and clearing davlik is cake. Where do you set and what are the "proper permissions" ??
Thanks!
Ok, found the permissions, just wanna make sure i checked the right options. Read, write, and execute. I checked them all, hope that was right. Thanks again!
Um, try getting the virus roms removed apps. Maybe those work? I'm not sure if fm radio was removed from that rom

So I can't get my custom boot animation to show. It's just a black screen when i reboot nothing more, I have done the 3rd line trick, I'm pretty sure my desc.txt is correct. I will upload my bootanimation.zip so people can hopefully correct me.
I have the Evo 3D running MIUI.
One more thing is when i copy over my bootanimation.zip to my phone no matter if its adb push or sdcard mount it never copys over the numbers in order. For instance i would copy over my bootanimation.zip and it would go in the order of 1,102,103,115 ect....
EDIT:I realized my files and my desc were not the same name so I changed that..Stupid mistake, I changed the compresion to store instead of normal, I made sure i had a third line using notepad++, and yet i still get a black screen...I think it might be because when i copy over my they don't stay in the order they were in origanlly. I will post a screen shot of this.

Lastly i added the newly updated bootanimation.zip that i tried fixing...
EDIT2:I finally got it to show up!! I think it may have been the pics per second were to fast. I had it at 13 originally and changed it to 5 that seemed to work as it shows now...The only problem im having is the files are still not in order as shown above.

make sure that when you compress the file to zip its set to "store" and the option is set to add and update files.Also make sure that you leave a blank line in the end of the desc.txt file.
(Note) if you have modified the files inside the archive then you have to compress the zip again with the same settings
Is it just me, or does anyone have a messy folder structure?
Ex, my SD card is named HTC 16GB and under it I have about 50 folders.
I've seen on several threads people mentioning system/app, yet I don't have those folders, my system folders are scattered a bit.
Is there any specific hierarchy I should follow, would organizing my folders screw up my phone when it tries to retrieve data?
Here's an image:

Well it's in alphabetical order...
DO NOT TOUCH THE FOLDERS
Reorganising them could stuff up your SD card I strongly recommend you leave them they are all in their place for a reason.

What? You aren't going to brick you phone meeting with folders on the sd card. In fact I've deleted, renamed and done just about everything else with folders on the sd card.
Oh, and to the op. To find your system/app folder, you need to use a file explorer on your phone, like es file explorer, and access the folder from your phone, as system folders are in your phones memory an not the sd card.

I've thought about that but after using ES File Explorer, I was unable to locate the system folders.

I'm cleaning up my phone, PHOTOS only shows photos stored on the phone, it doesn't include photos on the SD card.
So I downloaded the SD card photos via Airdroid FILES and now want to delete them
If I right click on EXTERNAL SD CARD, I'm given the delete option, but if I dive into any subdirectories, all delete options are greyed out whether it's right click on directory or file, or select and click the trash can.
Any ideas? This is a Note 3 running Android 4.3

Has nobody run into this before? I posted the screenshots that were requested. Was kind of expecting a response.

If AirDroid doesn't have the permission to delete files on your external sd card, the delete option will be greyed out. Or would you please give it a try on the phone: AirDroid--->Tools--->Files. Try deleting one photo there just to check if AirDroid has the permission. Thank you in advance
I think you're on to something. Using AirDroid on the phone itself, I attempted to delete a file from the SD card. The delete option was there, it said the delete was successful, but nothing was actually deleted.
What might prevent this from working?

AirDroid does not have the permission to delete files on your SD card
right, we determined that. my question was WHY would it not have permissions? What should I be looking at to fix that problem?
anyone knows how to fix it ?

The Earth spinning one was very nice. Unfortunately I was unable to try the Night Sky one because every time I tried I got an error saying the files were too big, whether I tried to copy/move them simultaneously or individually. Yes obviously I have been setting permissions

What I you using to move them?
I tried File Explorer and Root explorer with no issues. I copy past all the files to system/media and over write the existing files

I tried both ES file explorer and Root explorer, those are my go-to tools, and yeah that's what I do, overwrite the existing files. Worked fine for spinning earth but not for night sky, even when I tried restoring the stock boot animation first (I always copy the stock files to a secure location first)
Not sure what to tell you. If its doing that with stock boot files too it would indicate another issue. Maybe clear cash in recovery
